A: BASIC PROCEDURES
1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The most important purpose of diagnostics is to
quickly determine which part is malfunctioning, to
save time and labor.
2. IDENTIFICATION OF TROUBLE
SYMPTOM
Determine what the problem is based on the symp-
tom.
3. PROBABLE CAUSE OF TROUBLE
Look at the wiring diagram and check the system’s
circuit. Then check the switch, relay, fuse, ground,
etc.
4. LOCATION AND REPAIR OF TROUBLE
1) Using the diagnostics, narrow down the causes.
2) If necessary, use a voltmeter, ohmmeter, etc.
3) Before replacing certain component parts
(switch, relay, etc.), check the power supply,
ground, for open wiring harness, poor connectors,
etc. If no problem is encountered, check the com-
ponent parts.
5. SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK
After repairing, ensure that the system operates
properly.
B: BASIC INSPECTION
1. VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT
1) Using a voltmeter, connect the negative lead to a
good ground point or negative battery terminal and
the positive lead to the connector or component ter-
a light failing to illuminate occurs, use the proce-
dures outlined above to track down the malfunc-
tion.
2. CIRCUIT CONTINUITY CHECKS
1) Disconnect the battery terminal or connector so
there is no voltage between the check points.
Contact the two leads of an ohmmeter to each of
the check points.
If the circuit has diodes, reverse the two leads and
check again.
2) Use an ohmmeter to check for diode continuity.
When contacting the negative lead to the diode
positive side and the positive lead to the negative
side, there should be continuity.
When contacting the two leads in reverse, there
should be no continuity.
Continuity No continuity
WI-02740
3) The symbol “ — ” indicates that continuity
exists between two points or terminals. For exam-
ple, when a switch position is at “3”, continuity ex-
ists among terminals 1, 3 and 6, as shown in the
table below.

3. HOW TO DETERMINE AN OPEN CIRCUIT 4. HOW TO DETERMINE A SHORT CIRCUIT

1) WITH VOLTMETER:
An open circuit is determined by measuring the
voltage between respective connectors and ground
using a voltmeter, starting with the connector clos-
est to the power supply. The power supply must be
turned ON so that current flows in the circuit. If volt-
age is not present between a particular connector
and ground, the circuit between that connector and
the previous connector is open.
Open circuit or wiring
1) WITH TEST LIGHT:
Connect a test light (rated at approx. 3 watts) in
place of the blown fuse and allow current to flow
through the circuit. Disconnect one connector at a
time from the circuit. Starting with the one located
farthest from the power supply. If the test light goes
out when a connector is disconnected, the wiring
between that connector and the next connector
(farther from the power supply) is shorted.

2) WITH OHMMETER: 2) WITH OHMMETER:

Disconnect all connectors affected, and check con-
tinuity in the wiring between adjacent connectors.
When the ohmmeter indicates “infinite”, the wiring
is open.
Open circuit
Disconnect all affected connectors, and check con-
tinuity between each connector and ground. When
the ohmmeter indicates continuity between a par-
ticular connector and a ground, that connector is
shorted.

C: HOW TO READ WIRING

DIAGRAMS
1. WIRING DIAGRAM:
The wiring diagram of each system is illustrated so
that you can understand the path through which the
electric current flows from the battery.
Sketches and codes are used in the diagrams.
They should read as follows:
• Each connector and its terminal position are indi-
cated by a sketch of the connector in a disconnect-
ed state which is viewed from the front.

• The number of poles or pins, presence of a lock are indicated in the sketch of each connector. In the
sketch, the highest pole number refers to the number of poles which the connector has. For example, the
sketch of the connector shown in figure indicates the connector has 9 poles.

Basic Diagnostic Procedure

WIRING SYSTEM

• Each connector number shown in the wiring dia-

gram corresponds to that in the wiring harness. The
location of each connector in the actual vehicle is
determined by reading the first character of the
connector (for example, a “F” for F8, “i” for i16, etc.)
and the type of wiring harness. The first character
of each connector number corresponds to the area
or system of the vehicle.
